A US company has created a gift for the man who has everything - bacon flavoured shaving scream. J&D's new product is described as "high end, luxurious bacon-scented shaving cream" and is on sale for about £9.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and bacon is the best part of breakfast. Why not smell like it and be the best?"

A horse racing commentator didn't miss a beat when three deer got onto the track during a US meeting. The race was just about to begin when the deer jumped onto the racetrack at the Meadows in Washington County. Veteran commentator Roger Huston immediately announced: "They're on the track now, and they're on your screen, too. They're on the racetrack! As they race down the track, Bambi has the lead. Here comes Rudolph from the outside."

Normally, North Korea's official state news agency is the place to go for reports ranging from the reclusive totalitarian state's unparalleled scientific achievements to the limitless love which its inhabitants reserve for their successive leaders. Yet in what appears to be a genuine world exclusive, the inimitable Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) has now broken the incredible news that archaeologists in Pyongyang have discovered a unicorn's lair. Or rather, the report says that they have "recently reconfirmed" the lair of one of the unicorns ridden by the ancient Korean King Tongmyong, founder of a kingdom which ruled parts of China and the Korean peninsula from the the 3rd century BC to 7th century AD.

It WAS a case of man bites dog and dog bites back... and Dexter proved his bite is worse than his bark. A 31-year-old man needed stitches to his arm after allegedly biting the police dog while being arrested in the Illawarra region on Saturday night. Police were called to a Berkley residence about 11pm after reports of an apprehended violence order breach. Police will allege the man "grabbed Dexter around the neck and tried to bite him". "He has gotten his teeth into Dexter," Acting Inspector Jack Brown said."At that point the dog has retaliated, biting him. As you can imagine, Dexter did a better job of it."

A Chicago TV station interrupted its morning show with 'breaking news' of a plane crash on a local road - only to find it was a set for a television show. News anchors Larry Potash and Robin Baumgarten broke off from their schedule on Channel 9 as word came through that a light aircraft had crashed on Martin Luther King Drive. A news helicopter was on the scene to beam footage as the pair tried to piece together what had happened and whether there were any casualties, reports the Chicago Tribune. But moments later the pair's jaws dropped when a message came through that the crash scene was for TV series Chicago Fire.

A CBS News video uploaded onto YouTube claims to show amazing pictures of twins fighting for space in their mother’s womb. The CBS report accompanying the video states that the images are from an MRI taken at the Center for Fetal Care London and quotes Dr. Marisa Taylor-Clarke as telling reporters: "What this allows us to do is to see their positions in relation to others and the amount of space they occupy, and how they could move and push each other along the way."
